According to Mr. Lai Omotola, the Convener of Pro-Nigeria Group, Lagos, as Nigeria’s economic hub, should not be used as an experiment. Omotola stressed the need for efficient leadership in Lagos, which plays a pivotal role in Nigeria’s economy.
The Convener of Pro-Nigeria Group, Mr. Lai Omotola, emphasized the importance of efficient leadership in Lagos State on Saturday. Lagos, being the nation’s economic hub and a major African financial center, plays pivotal roles in Nigeria’s economy, he said at a press conference in Lagos. Omotola noted that Lagos, as the backbone of Nigeria’s economy, can only be governed by tested technocrats and not by those who would want to use the state to experiment their administrative acumen.
Since 1999 when Nigeria commenced its democratic journey, Lagos has had four governors elected to lead the state, Omotola said. From Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to Barrister Raji Fashola, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, and presently Mr. Babajide Sanwoolu, the position of Governor has been competitive, and on all occasions, the progressives have always come out victorious, he added.
